Speedball Earthenware Glazes

Spectacular results can be achieved with these bright, intense, highly saturated glazes. Speedball Glazes can be used on earthenware clays that have been bisqued to Cone 04. They can then be fired to Cone 05 - 06.

All colors are lead-free and non-toxic. They are dinnerware safe when used and fired as directed.

I ordered several colors of Speedball glaze and was very apprehensive when the glazes arrived. The consistency is not what I have been used to--sort of gelatinous. I fired my elementary students' large, delightful "face pots," praying the glaze would turn out. Wahoo! It was wonderful! We used red clay and the effects are stellar. The colors are great and ever so lightly translucent. I much prefer this glaze now to the completely opaque glazes I have used in the past and will order again!

I teach middle school and no matter how often I would explain with other glazes that, "The color on the jar IS the color the glaze turns out--- AFTER it has been fired! Really!" Kids never really caught on to the chemical changes that occured. They'd get a project back and not understand the color changed. With Speedball the color IS the color after the firing. Sure it's glossy now and much brighter but the blue glaze they painted on is now the SHINEY blue glaze they were hoping for. Once I discovered that Speedball did more than screeenprinting inks I was hooked. It's all I order now!!!!
